Question What does your dream retirement home look like

[jmltech]

We were lucky and found our dream home and retirement home 5 years ago outside of Salida, Co. We have been slowly making our improvements, including solar and last year our RV garage and a his and her workshop. Looking foward to moving next spring to start our next journey in life when we retire. It wasn’t the “dream” home that we imagined, but it was close enough and checked the boxes we both had.

@Jim: That is amazing.

Nice place. What kind of drone did you use to shoot the video?

It was a Typhon G With a GoPro.

In our case we built our dream retirement home 40+ years ago without realizing it at the time. We live in the SF Bay Area near the heart of Silicon Valley and wouldn’t have it any other way. Dynamic, exciting area to live and yet we live in a quiet area with our Rv parked and plugged in in our back yard. Pure luck with the Rv parking as we had no idea when we built that we would own a 40’ Dutch Star.
Love our site and have no interest in locating anywhere else. Take that California haters??.

We like a couple of you had our dream home before we knew it. Early 90’s we purchase our property (185 acres). Four years later we were build a house which turned out to be our dream/retirement home. The house is considerable larger than we currently need now. Built in a small country community where a cell phone might work requires satellite TV and internet if you want the luxuries. The closes Walmart, Krogers, doctor, hospital is 45 miles. We do have small town 12 miles away where you can get gas, groceries and pharmacy. A place where everyone will go out of their way to help a neighbor or anyone else. Great short distance neighbors who take care of the pets, cut the grass and watch our place when we travel. Can’t say enough good things about country folks.

@J&JD Being a bay area person myself, I am so envious of your casa. What I would give to have my rig right next to my home...Beautiful pictures.

Part of what I love about living out here on our mountain is the spectacular views throughout the different times of the year. The forest around us has almost reached its fully green state, and the grass is starting to fill in. And then there's stuff like this rainbow that just showed up out of nowhere.

Amazing! @Jim you are doing it right!
